Martin. Well, you can have it—at the old salary.

Mary. I don’t want it.

Martin. Oh, Rodney sent you to plead for him?

Mary. No, sir.

Martin. Then, what are you here for?

Mary. To make you a business proposition.

Martin. Why doesn’t Rodney make it himself?

Mary. He doesn’t know I’m here.

Martin. That’s something in his favor: can’t see much use in women tying up in men’s business.
